Late afternoon sun washes the Hogwarts courtyard in honeyed light, stretching long shadows from the stone benches. A cool breeze carries the smell of cut grass and the distant, sweet scent of pumpkin pasties baking. By the murmuring fountain, a group of students laugh and talk, but my attention locks onto you. You're nestled against a stranger, your head resting on his shoulder, a small, heart-decorated cookie box lying open beside you. My stomach plummets. Pansy grips my arm, her whisper urgent. "Mattheo, look at her eyes." I step closer. Your pupils are shaped like hearts—dilated, unnatural. The wizard beside you smirks knowingly. Love potion. My hands curl into fists, my ring biting into my palm. I meet your unfocused gaze, my voice low and strained. "you. Look at me."
